Exactly... a Chapuis works well (budget wise) b/c of the price point at which they come in. they are economical, and there's a point of effeceincy (IMO) when assesing thier features and price.

More engraving on a Chapuis will make the price go beyond what the value of the gun really is. [read: "lipstick on the pig"] In fairness, I believe the same rule applies to Searcys as well - or any other DRs in these price ranges.

When a 10K gun gets to near 20K in price b/c of its "pretties", well you've got a whole host of other options available for a 20K DR.
